Think you can't be a working mom AND homeschool seven kids? Think again. Meet Heidi Lewerenz, the entrepreneur-coach-homeschooling powerhouse who's cracking the code on motherhood burnout. She's serving up the tea on redefining success, and why losing yourself in motherhood might actually be the point. Your identity isn't disappearing—it's getting the Michelangelo treatment.
Main Topics & Discussion
The Recovering Feminist's Guide to Motherhood Identity
Heidi's journey from career-focused independent woman to integrated working mom reads like a plot twist nobody saw coming. She opens up about believing she couldn't "do both well" and how becoming a mother forced her to question everything she thought she knew about feminine power.

What if becoming a mother isn't about losing who you are, but discovering who you were always meant to be?

Using Michelangelo's David as a metaphor, she suggests that pre-motherhood you was just a rough-cut block of granite, and motherhood is the master sculptor revealing your true form. Yes, the chiseling hurts like hell, but what emerges is more beautiful and authentic than what came before. This reframe transforms the motherhood journey from loss to artistic creation—and honestly, it's the perspective shift every struggling mama needs to hea
